What We Get Wrong About ADHD, Masking & AuDHD - with Dr Kieran Kennedy
Season 6 · Episode 126
Thursday, September 10, 2026 • Duration 01:00:05
Hey Lifers!
ADHD has well and truly come into the spotlight in the last few years. Diagnoses have increased substantially in the past decade. But, this surge in diagnosis hasn't necessarily come with a surge in understanding; especially for women, who are so often missed, misdiagnosed, or told it's "just anxiety". So we've brought back one of Australia's most trusted voices on mental health and neurodiversity, consultant psychiatrist and TV doctor Dr Kieran Kennedy, to break it all down.
Kieran is fresh off the release of his brand new book, This Explains Everything: A Psychiatrist's Guide to Navigating Adult ADHD, and he's here to unpack why so many women aren't diagnosed until their 30s, 40s or even 50s, what "masking" and "scaffolding" actually look like day to day, the difference between hyperactive, inattentive and combined ADHD, what AuDHD is, and why "high performing ADHD" might be one of the most misunderstood terms on the internet right now.
We also get into ADHD burnout, the link between ADHD and disordered eating and substance use, the romanticised "superpower" side of ADHD on social media, and what steps to take if you think this conversation sounds a little too relatable.
Kieran shares:
Why ADHD in women is so often missed, and how it shows up differently to the "naughty kid in the classroom" stereotype
What "scaffolding" really means, and the difference between adaptive and maladaptive coping
What "high performing ADHD" actually is (and why the term can be misleading)
The three types of ADHD - hyperactive, inattentive and combined
What AuDHD (ADHD + autism) is, and why it's not a "made up" internet diagnosis
The link between ADHD, dopamine seeking, disordered eating and substance use
What ADHD burnout looks like versus everyday burnout
Why women are diagnosed on average nearly 20 years later than men, and the role hormones, pregnancy and menopause play
Options beyond medication
The difference between masking in men and women

Hey Lifers! Happy Wednesday! We’re fresh back from New Zealand (Queenstown luge races, ice-cold lake plunges and all) while Britt’s got her own laundry-based betrayal to deal with courtesy of Ben. We take a quick pause to give a shoutout to a very special dad in the Lifer family (Matt we’re looking at you), before answering Soph’s very real dilemma: How do you greet your friend’s partner for the first time without it turning into an awkward fist bump? Laura’s going rouge and talking Musk Sticks…Yep… Who actually knows what the flavour of Musk? This one will have you both concerned and intrigued.
Then we get into it. First up, the Alex Cooper vs Alex Earle drama that's been simmering since 2022 finally got its reveal, and we unpack the uncomfortable footage, the question of who really owns your story once you've sat down for an interview, and why we'll never ask a guest to keep something in if they've asked for it to be cut.
Then, the big one: Raygun. Her new Netflix documentary has reopened the conversation a year on, and we've got a lot of feelings. We get into vicarious embarrassment (yes, it's a real psychological phenomenon), the line between self-belief and delusion, the role her husband/coach played in it all, and whether the backlash really was about gender or something else entirely.

Ask Uncut: He Invited His Ex To Our Wedding & Secret Sibling Favouritism?
Season 6 · Episode 124
Sunday, September 6, 2026 • Duration 34:35
Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deep, your dark and your burning questions! Today is one of those days where we got the giggles and boy this could be one of the greatest openers of all time. We go down memory lane and find out about Britt's grandma's backyard full of pigeons (we did not see that one coming).
Laura – The easiest, most addictive cabbage salad recipe of all time (yes really)
LAURA'S SALAD RECIPE
Shredded cabbage
Rocket
Mint
Peas (defrosted, not cooked)
Shredded parmesan
Fresh chilli
Dressing:
Whole lemon
Olive oil
Dijon mustard
Crushed garlic
Salt & Pepper
Then we jump into your questions!
Q1: I SAID MY EX'S NAME DURING SEX: Instead of correcting myself, I just kept going. He definitely heard it and it's been three weeks. Do I bring it up now or let it die?
Q2: MY PARTNER WANTS HIS EX AT OUR WEDDING: They've stayed close since breaking up five years ago and are part of the same friend group. I don't know if I want her there. Should I ask him to not invite her?
Q3: MY MUM KEEPS GIVING MY BROTHER MONEY: I only found out by accident. I've never asked for a cent, but apparently he "needs it more." Am I a bad sister for feeling some type of way about it?
Q4: HOW DO I TELL MY BEST FRIEND HER CONTENT IS TOO OBVIOUSLY AI? Her home remodelling business isn't even showing real photos of their work anymore. How do we call this out without hurting her feelings (or her business)?
Offcuts: The Jet Ski Confession, A $11M Wedding Registry Scandal & Taking Your Bush To The Beach
Season 6 · Episode 123
Friday, September 4, 2026 • Duration 43:50
Hey Lifers! Welcome to Offcuts, the stuff that got left in the group chat because there just wasn't room for it in the main episode!
This week, our digital producer, Lachy, throws himself onto a live, in-person Love Is Blind-style dating show, and gives us the full debrief, jet ski confession included, plus the panicked moment he nearly sent an unsolicited message from the official Life Uncut Instagram account.
Then we get into the internet's latest obsession: a woman who turned guests away from her "creative black tie" going-away party for showing up underdressed, sparking a debate on how strict is too strict when it comes to dress codes.
We also unpack the backlash facing Annalynne McCord and Danny Cipriani, whose combined $11 million net worth didn't stop them itemising their wedding costs on a very public registry, right down to the $600 wedding cake.
Then, a viral "5 hobbies you need for a balanced life" list sends Laura into a spiral about whether surviving the day counts as self-care, and we debate whether meditation really is the answer to everything (RIP Deepak Chopra's reputation).
We close out bikini season-ready with a viral essay titled "I took my bush to the beach" and a very open conversation about pubic hair, laser regret, and who actually cares what's going on down there.

Starting Over At 36, Public Heartbreak and ‘Not Staying Stuck’ - Uncut with Rhi Disljenkovic
Season 6 · Episode 122
Thursday, September 3, 2026 • Duration 36:52
Hey Lifers!
Something we’ve spoken about a lot on this pod is how neither of us found the love we have now until we were well into our 30s. Every single day our DMs and inboxes are full of the same two questions. From women navigating the utter chaos of modern dating, wondering if they're doing it wrong, if they're too picky, if they've missed some invisible window. And from women sitting in relationships that are ‘fine’, not bad, just not right, but worried about having to ‘start again’ when society is telling them the clock is ticking and beggars can't be choosers. We don't think it's crazy. We think knowing what you want, and refusing to compromise on it, might be the bravest thing you can do in your 30s.
Which brings us to today's guest Rhi Disljenkovic. Many of us got to know Rhi when she turned up on our MAFS screens having already met the guy who was standing at the end of the aisle waiting for her. Rhi and Jeff left the experiment together. A few months ago, Rhi made the incredibly difficult decision to end her relationship with Jeff.
In today’s episode, Rhi speaks about what actually happened behind the scenes, why she made the choice to leave a relationship that so many people online assumed was a fairytale, and what it's like restarting again in your mid-30s, in the public eye, while everyone else has an opinion.
We get into the pressure of being an "inspirational" couple online, the difference between a bad relationship and a relationship that's just not right, the rumours she's had to sit with in silence, and why she's decided to start an egg freezing journey now.
We chat:
The sunk cost fallacy in relationships; do you settle, or start again?
Whether Rhi and Jeff's shared history was picked up by producers, or pure coincidence
The pressure of sharing a relationship online and feeling like a "fraud"
Why she'd call it "a relationship that's just not right," not a bad relationship
Boundaries she overlooked, and the rumours that were hardest to sit with
Writing her breakup statement, and what it's like posting it knowing it'll be picked apart
A Prophet And The Influencer Who Got A Face Lift at 33
Season 6 · Episode 121
Tuesday, September 1, 2026 • Duration 45:27
Hey Lifers! Happy Wednesday!
If anyone’s still sore from the Sydney Marathon, props to you we’re kicking off with why Laura will never be as good as you and a little throw back from veeeery early on in the pod (does anyone remember Britt’s marathon?) Plus we get into a random prophet "prediction" and unpacking the ultimate friendship litmus test that's been going around: Would you let your best friend babysit your kids?
Then the big one. After a Byron Bay influencer with 245k followers went public about her "mini" facelift at 33, we get into the convo we can't stop thinking about. Is it better for women to be completely transparent about the work they've had done, even if that means normalising facelifts at an age that once felt unthinkable? Or does that transparency tip into promotion, quietly telling a younger, audience that this is just what upkeep looks like now? And underneath all of it, the real question, how much of this is actually a choice, and how much is just the exhausting cost of trying to feel okay in your own skin after years of comparison culture, motherhood, and a beauty standard that keeps moving the goalposts younger.
Plus of course of Suck and Sweet (which includes a huge career highlight hosting global superstar Alex Warren!!!!)

Ask Uncut: When Is Giving Your Number A Big NO, a $250K Fail & the Ex's Cat Who Won't Leave
Season 6 · Episode 120
Sunday, August 30, 2026 • Duration 50:46
Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! This week the Facebook discussion group has well and truly been lit up over one story in particular. When is shooting your shot absolutely not okay? Britt and Laura go head-to-head with veeery different opinions on this one that might even change your own mind.
Vibes of the week:
Britt:The Scream Murders: A True Teen Horror Story on Disney+/Hulu
Laura: Instagram Trial Reels (yes really)
Then it's into your questions!
Q1: IS IT OKAY TO GIVE YOUR NUMBER TO SOMEONE ON A DATE?
The story that broke the Facebook group. A Lifer sitting near a couple on a clearly bad date wants to know if slipping her number to the guy is out of line. Britt and Laura go head-to-head on the etiquette of shooting your shot.
Q2: HE BLEW HIS $250K INHERITANCE ON A CAMPER VAN & NOW HE WANTS TO MOVE IN, UNEMPLOYED.
A Lifer's boyfriend quit his job, ditched his apartment and torched a quarter-million-dollar inheritance travelling... and now he's back, broke, and wants to move into her place while collecting unemployment benefits. Is this a dealbreaker?
Q3: MY HUSBAND WON'T SUPPORT MY CAREER CHANGE.
After a decade in healthcare, a Lifer found her true passion and was ready to retrain. Her husband shut it down over money. Britt and Laura weigh in on when it's worth the pay cut to chase what actually fulfils you.
Q4: MY BOYFRIEND'S EX STILL HAS STUFF AT HIS HOUSE (INCLUDING HER CAT).
Months after the breakup, his ex's jewellery, clothes, mugs and yes her actual cat are still scattered through his house, and she still has a key. Is it fair to ask him to finally clear it out?

Hey Lifers! We're back with another Off Cuts to get you through the weekend, the little snack, the bottom dwelling stuff from the group chats.
This week the girls cover a proper mixed bag. Laura chit chats about falling down the Instagram breakup video rabbit hole and if things ever went south (which they won’t, dw) whether they'd ever make one themselves.
We chat about a viral PSA about dogs getting high in the park (yep, you read that right), and the nineteen year old charging women twenty bucks to test if their boyfriend is secretly gay.

From Sleeping In A Car To 11 Billion Streams: Alex Warren Gets Real About Grief
Season 6 · Episode 118
Friday, August 28, 2026 • Duration 23:33
Hey Lifers! We have such a special one for you today. If it sounds a little different, that's because we recorded this in the green room! We'd just come off stage after interviewing Grammy-nominated, 11-billion-streamed, ten-times-platinum (here in Australia!) artist Alex Warren, live, on the night his new album Wildchild dropped.
You know Alex from "Ordinary", one of the biggest songs of the last two years, but what makes him so special isn't just the music, it's how openly he talks about what got him there. At nine, Alex lost his dad to cancer. At 16, he was kicked out of home and lived in his car. At 21, he lost his mum. Today he opens up about all of it: writing a song from his late dad's perspective (with a guitar solo from John Mayer), the voice notes his dad left him before he passed, the "what ifs" of grief, his mum's addiction and the regrets he still carries. He also has one of the best love stories we’ve ever heard.

4:17 — Writing "Wildchild" from his late dad's perspective, and the John Mayer guitar solo story
8:12 — Losing his mum to addiction and the regrets he still sits with

12:32 — Meeting his wife Kouvr while he was homeless and living in a car

Hey Lifers! BIG episode, yes we’re finally diving in to who the hell is this new producer on our podcast and of course that means a classic “Accidentally Unfiltered".
But first, we kick off chatting the $1000+ "shoe" that is somehow just a heel and a prayer, and then get a little deeper: Laura opens up about a pattern of forgetting names and faces of people she absolutely should know, and the girls debate whether it's a perimenopause symptom, undiagnosed ADHD, or just the cost of running multiple businesses and a household at once.
But the juicy main event: producer Sophie FINALLY sits in the hot seat for her official get-to-know-you episode, and she comes in swinging with a 3am possum-on-the-bed story, plus some unhinged radio tales. Britt and Laura go through all the quick q’s from the Lifers and BONUS, we also get a cheeky accidentally unfiltered with Laura thrown in there too!
Content note: Light discussion of memory/health anxiety.
